When you're on holiday in a different country, you'll notice a massive difference between British supermarkets and those abroad. Sometimes, you might be baffled by the layout or the products in the shop. If you've lived in the UK for any period of time, you will no doubt be used to the way things are sold and presented here.
But when American couple Cara Atwell and Jeremy Davis went to Tesco for the first time, they were baffled by what they spotted amongst the aisles.
The pair were so confused about where they found some items, but they were pleased to explore their first British "grocery store."
While travelling, the couple explored their first Tesco together in Devon, as they were keen to try Lucozade for the first time.
While exploring the aisles, Cara was particularly impressed that you could get dairy-free alternatives to halloumi on the shelf.
Another thing that baffled the couple was the placement of the eggs.
"We came around the corner and there's just a shelf of eggs", Cara said in an amused voice. "Not something I've seen in the US."
This is because, in the US, it's the law to keep eggs refrigerated due to the salmonella risk. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) determined that the best way to fight Salmonella contamination is by sanitising the eggs before they reach the consumer.
In the UK chickens are vaccinated against salmonella, so British authorities encourage people to store eggs in an area below 20C, which is the case in most supermarkets.
They referred to Mr Kipling cakes as "delicious", and she said Rhubarb Crumble sounded "really good", then Cara said she felt "overwhelmed" by how many choices there were in the supermarket, and said she didn't know whether to get branded stuff, or Tesco own-brand as she was intrigued by it.
Cara then admitted that she'd "never tried" a Pot Noodle, but had "seen a lot" about them, saying that for 80p, they were going to take the plunge.
The pair were also shocked by the size of Frey Bentos pies, assuming they would've been smaller in real life.
Cara said: "I think your cereal aisle is smaller than ours is in America, but we have a lot of the same cereals."
They also checked out the crisp aisle, and then marvelled at the different flavour of KitKats like honeycomb that they "don't have in America."
"Bitter shandy?", Cara asked. "Made with real British beer for a rich refreshing taste", she read. "So it's like non-alcoholic beer?" Bitter shandy sold in packs normally contains 0.5% alcohol.
And even Ben and Jerry's flavours are different in the UK in comparison to America, however, Cara did not know what "frozen lollies" were when she saw the signage for it, and Jeremy had to explain they're "popsicles."
They spent a lot of time perusing the ice-creams, remarking on how "fancy" the own-brand Tesco ice-cream tubs looked.
"We're definitely going to have to come back to get some frozen goods when we're closer to our Airbnb", Cara gushed.
Cara told the Daily Mail: "I'm not sure what we were expecting, but we had a nice experience. A lot of the items were cheaper than what they would cost in the US and it gave us a lot of ideas of foods we wanted to try in the future.
"I think Tesco would give other Americans a good idea of the range of products available in supermarkets in the UK."
